one piece - a new journey OOC

[fawcettp]

Welcome to the world of one piece, the greatest treasure left to the world by Gol D. Rogger the famous pirate king. Now is your chance to tell your own story of adventure and excitement in this fantastical world by diving head first into your characters.


Where we come in
Each of you will be taking on the role of one of the crew of the new and upcoming pirate crew, you all have a past and secrets to keep or tell, but most of all you each have a reason to journey together and travel the world beyond the borders of your home islands. You will each be required to fill out a character sheet and pick a position within the crew that your character will take.

The basics of this journey is that we will each take the part of a group of new or old pirates who have joined together on an island in the north blue, that will then head for the grand line in search of the one piece treasure. Our journey will take place roughly 1 year after the war of the best, the straw-hat pirates are missing in action assumed dead (though we know they are training) and the marines are running around trying to regain control of the oceans through force.

There are some rules which I would like to tell everyone now before you go overboard with powers and abilities.
1) no god-modding, you will be able to be hit and even killed if its bad enough, and you will not be able to hit everything you want
2) devil fruits will need to be cleared with me before posting, also note there are only going to be 4 fruit users on the ship (I will be taking one spot)
3) haki is a no until you earn it, or can come up with a damn good reason to have it
4) growth, your characters will not start out being able to k.o. a captain level marine in one hit at first so give yourself some room to grow and develop new techniques
5) if you pick a race other than human know that their innate powers are yours to have, but within limit. E.g. a fish-man can breathe under water but fish-man karate needs training in

combat data
Devils fruit (if you have one)
Name- tech tech fruit
Type of fruit- paramecia
Description-
The fruit converts the users body into a machine, with their blood replaced my nano-machines which maintain it. This grants the user a stronger body and the ability to produce machines and constructs from parts of their body by training the nano-machines to build them, in order to do this they must visualise the structure in their mind and order it built by the nano-machines in their blood. The user no-longer needs to breathe or consume food, but must still consume fuel in the form of water every day to maintain their energy supplies; the consumption of different fuels will result in lower energy levels.

Alex has modified his own body slightly to introduce power limiters within it, this means that he can maintain a normal life without mentally restricting his powers all the time, it also means that when entering combat he must lift these limiters allowing access to greater energy levels and strength; currently there are 5 levels of limiters, normal, 20% combat, 50% combat, 80% combat, 100% combat, 200% overdrive.

Powers-
20% combat- physical constructs
This power level allows Alex to order the machines to build physical constructs, basic solid metal things such as weapons and tools. Some constructs include
- Arm blade
- Finger dart
- cable whip

50% combat- power constructs
This power level allows greater complexity in the constructs and introduction of advanced electrical systems in the builds
- Arm cannon
- Electro plating
- Blade upgrades (saw blade, electric blade, heat blade)
- Rocket fist

80% combat- energy constructs
This power level allows the construction of energy emitters into the builds of the machines, as well as strengthening of materials to resist heat and impact
- Jet gear
- Shoulder energy canon
- exo-skin armour
- energy blade
- energy shield

Weakness- due to the nature of the fruit Alex is now weaker to electrical attacks, along with all the normal devil fruit user weaknesses

Combat skills
Swordsman? Marksman? Hand-to-hand fighter?
Name of style- tech tech style
Where you learnt it- self-taught after eating the tech tech fruit
Description- the user of this technique is able to utilise the tech tech fruits nano-machines to build weapons and combat machines to fight with.
Equipment needed- none
Strength- utilises the fruits abilities to adapt in combat
Weaknesses- while versatile the user must know of a construct to build, also until higher levels it the high hitting powers

Equipment/Weapon/item(s):

Navigator –
Cook – Raddum

General information
role: Cook
Name: Mambo L. Chariot
Alias: Softstep Mambo
Race: Human
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality:

Mambo considers everything in life to be a game of some kind, and he's always happy to play. Although sometimes his cheerful personality can be annoying, you couldn't ask for a better friend, but you probably could ask for a better fighter, maybe one with devil fruit powers. It doesn't bother him if he's seen as a lesser pirate because of it. Because without him, they wouldn't have nice, warm meals in their stomachs... Would they?

Background:

Mambo grew up on a ship, believe it or not. Sailing North Blue with a small group of people including his mother, which is probably good because he wouldn't of ever taken up cooking if it wasn't for her. He learned overtime how to make many seafood dishes, there was nothing else for him to do on the ship except for prance around and try to help others with their duties. Sometimes you would see him dancing while he was at work, his mother had always told him that his father was a strange man, who was obsessed with dancing. He went by the name of Softstep Mambo, it was only in his teen years at his mother's deathbed(Due to age) did he finally learn that his father was a pirate captain, it made him curious. Pirates... It sounded kind of fun, although the crew he was with didn't want to exactly just become pirates. So he left, and after a bit of travelling he found a crew, they seemed to be a likable bunch, and they needed a cook, and maybe even a bit of an entertainer. At the present time he's boarding the ship with his crew, preparing to make they're way to the Grand Line.

I take it you'll be playing as the captain?

only if someone else doesn't want the job... i can do it but would rather have someone else take it, also if someone takes the job they most likely will be names CO-GM

also my character is named Alex and is currently first-mate, that is unless no one wants the captains seat in which case he will take it

[Raddum]

Machine?

Should name him Arnold.

*Naaagh*

All jokes aside, I'd rather not be captain due to my limited knowledge of One Piece, giving it's been awhile since I've actually watched it. But, maybe with a little guidance from the GM through PM's and such i could make it work... Still probably better off going for it yourself or someone else taking the role, though. Giving Mambo's father was a captain himself, it'd make sense. But yeah, kinda' 50-50 with me.

[Demon Shinobi]

lol so um... If you want... I could be captain.
Although I'm not sure if I'd want the
Mera Mera No Mi
or the
Gomu Gomu No MI

Of course I would only choose one of those if we weren't going by the official One Piece storyline which would mean I wouldn't be able to since they would already have been eaten...

Can we use canon fruit or something? lol I'd hate to have the fight the Straw Hats if we are in a world with the Straw Hats XD

lol anyway... The Point is... I'd be interested in the position of Captain.

Since this is in the One Piece established universe, you can't use fruits that are already being used in the anime. However if the character is dead, then you can use their fruit if you want. Also not sure on what I wanna do for her bio yet. Bios I always have so much trouble deciding what I wanna do.

[Kohaku Ryuu]

Awwww, really? I called navigator.....oh well, I have another idea for a fighter anyway... Let it be known that I Ryuu, am filling one of the fighter positions.

Edit: Also, I'll be snatching up one of the fruit slots as well.

[MorphedChaos]

Hm... Nevermind, this is free RP. Free RPs lead to 1 liners and poor character development. This would be better off in casual.
